It
is the place to visit an unknown ornithological paradise,
a unique ecological destination where it is possible to observe
more than 334 bird species: 13 of them endemic or almost endemic
and 14 of them threatened to become extinct, 32 different
species of humming birds and also 29 species of migrant birds.
This is one of the annual stops of the migrations of the birds
of prey and a better place to watch the ‘Oso de Anteojos’
(spectacles bear).
When carrying out ornithological
tours, there is a possibility of three different kinds of
lodging in the low, middle and high part of the Hydrographic
basin of ‘Rio Blanco : first, the house ‘Viveros’
located at 2550 meters above sea level and appropriate for
30 persons which can reach the house by car; second, in the
middle part you find ‘Navarra’, located at 2900
meters above sea level and which you can reach by horse or
by foot and finally there is ‘Martinica’, located
in the highest level at 3.500 meters above sea level and accessible
